Kids have unbelievable imaginations. We asked one hundred kids how robots might help them learn better. This is what they thought.

Roberts can make learning fun

Kids dreamed robots would make learning fun. One 9-year-old boy in Germany says, “When I get home, my robot helps me with my homework. My mother and father came in and said ‘no video games now, homework first’. When they saw that I had finished my homework, they’d be surprised”.

Robots take care of the dirty work

Dirty dishes? No problem. A quarter of kids surveyed imagined that their robots could do chores and boring work so that they might be freed up.

Robots are our friends

Two-thirds of the kids thought that their robots could be friends. One 10-year-old French boy describes his dream robot: “He created books for me to read, we played with toy cars. He keeps my secrets. I can tell him anything, and he gives me suggestions.”

Robots are cool

An 8-year-old girl in the U.S. imagines that her robot is “really smart and everyone likes to talk to her. She has a funny voice, but we do not laugh at her.”
